Hire people whose background and knowledge fit the role, titles shouldn’t outweigh expertise.The good thingsThe team is quite close knit and they make an effort to celebrate birthdays, though everyone is expected to contribute and the celebrations can feel a bit strict about costs. Trust can sometimes be an issue, but there are a few genuinely kind colleagues who make the experience much better.
The challengesOne of the main challenges is favoritism from senior leadership, where a small inner circle seems to get most of the attention. This affects trust and fairness within the team. Sometimes new hires don’t have experience in the industry or understand the company culture, and promotions or titles can feel more about personal preference than actual responsibilities. These issues can create imbalance and frustration among team members. Meetings and check ins can get tense, and raised voices or sudden anger make the workplace feel stressful and discouraging, which can make it hard for staff to feel fully supported.
